  3. "war strips identity".... Can't say that, Gillena...No, Indian history says a different story,

    Ofcourse, the illiterate, the poor...the displaced -- are the more victimised....but the aim has always been to bring them to the mainstream...and it takes time,

    just had to share my thought, after Gillena's comment, John...thanks for the space,
